Wild Thaw is a third person platformer about a fireball facing down the mountain of ice. You play as a fireball, born of a volcano and the last hope to bring balance to the valley. Melt your way through walls of ice and grow ever larger by burning grass and trees. But don’t worry! As you burn through the valley you also spread life as seeds sprout flowers in your fiery wake.

Explore a beautiful world filled with secrets

Journey from the volcano and through the frozen valley to thaw the land. Find the core of the ice to save mother nature.

Burn to grow your power

Set fire to plants and watch the flames spread—collect their energy to gain access to new locations. Grow and shrink in size as you collect and exhaust your energy.
